The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1421: Hope She Is Yours

Behind Yaohua Hall, there is a Nine Winding Corridor adorned with colored glaze palace lanterns. Below, a pond is home to a group of brilliantly colored koi; watching the fish under the lanterns at night presents an amusing and picturesque scene.

Yue Xin was lively by nature and enjoyed roaming around. She ran down to the corridor to watch the fish and even took some fish food from the lotus stand of the railing, feeding the fish as she walked and danced happily.

She didn’t notice a small shadow approaching from behind.

At the same time, Zi Wei was lurking below the corridor. The instant Chu Xi reached out her hand toward Yue Xin, Zi Wei drew his knife with a bloodthirsty and piercing gaze—

“Hey.”

Chu Xi gently tapped Yue Xin.

“What?”

Yue Xin turned around, her eyes innocent and flawless.

Seeing that Chu Xi hadn’t harmed Yue Xin, Zi Wei instantly withdrew his knife.

If Chu Xi had pushed Yue Xin just now, Zi Wei would have definitely flown over to hold her, and with a backhand, slashed with the knife.

Luckily, they were only speaking face to face.

“My mother said that today was my fault, and that I should apologize to you.” Chu Xi took a step back, executing a bow to express her sincerity.

“Ah…” Yue Xin was a bit slow to react. Before Yue Lian entered the palace, she taught her that palace etiquettes were complicated and that one must bow.

She hurriedly returned the bow to Chu Xi, muttering, “I also hit you, so it’s actually…” even-steven.

She wouldn’t harbor any resentment in her heart; she always took her revenge on the spot and never felt suppressed!

“Then this princess and you are without grudges or grievances now, and that book in your hand, I would like it,” Chu Xi said, pointing to the sandalwood box carelessly placed at her feet.

Yue Xin picked it up from the ground and opened it to take a look; she also saw the box in Chu Xi’s hands.

Both had been rewarded by Su Yingxue.

Yue Xin clutched the box tightly, “I also want that jewelry box of yours! I love beautiful gems the most!”

“Then take it, in exchange,” Chu Xi took out her own box.

“Deal!”

The two boxes were exchanged, each girl satisfied by obtaining their coveted item. Yue Xin, innocent and sprightly, immediately laughed loudly, “The empress’s jewelry is really beautiful!”

Back in Lingnan, she had never seen such gorgeous gems.

Chu Xi internally thought that medical science was truly magical. She planned to take the medical texts home and slowly look through the illustrations, aspiring to learn martial arts and medicine early on, just like her mother and the empress.

One loved to play and the other loved to browse illustrations; their dynamic mirrored the serene atmosphere of the corridor, a stark contrast to the daylight’s tension.

The scene was unexpectedly beautiful and harmonious.

Su Yingxue stood in front of the hall, gazing from high above, a relieved smile on her face, “After all, they are just little girls, with no overnight grudges.”

“It’s thanks to mother’s gracious gifts!” Chu Heng held Su Yingxue’s hand, her voice soft and sweet.

“It’s my Heng’er that’s smart and clever,” Su Yingxue picked up Chu Heng and showered her with kisses, the affection abundant.

“This face is as soft as dough; don’t rub it too much and ruin it,” Little Ginseng cried out in Su Yingxue’s mind, pouting somewhat displeased.

But this time, the one who heard her wasn’t Su Yingxue, but Chu Heng.

Chu Heng spoke softly, “It won’t be ruined, maybe… you would like to rub it too?”

Little Ginseng’s prideful response came, “What’s so great about a little kid’s face to rub! You should just grow up slowly, little radish head!”

“But, you’re not much bigger, are you? You’re not even as tall as me,” Chu Heng said, tilting her head; the Little Ginseng he could see wasn’t taller than him at all.

“You… you dare to say the ginseng is short? I was already transformed when you weren’t even born yet! Little radish head!”

“Little dwarf!” Chu Heng chuckled lightly.

For some reason, he found the sight of the little girl with her puffed-up angry face particularly attractive.

She was different from sister Chu Xi and also unlike sister Yue Xin—her uniqueness stood out, causing him to involuntarily want to reach out and poke her chubby cheeks.

After the banquet had ended, Chu Yifeng took Rong Sheng and Chu Xi back to their mansion. Chu Yihan felt a tinge of relief at the sight of Chu Yifeng’s figure, flanked by his wife and daughter.

Even though he and Su Yingxue were aware that he had lost a part of his memory, they were still pleased with the current situation.

Yue Lian and Yue Xin were also about to leave the palace. Fearing that Yue Lian wouldn’t be able to resist calling Zi Wei “Daddy” again, she politely declined Su Yingxue’s kind offer to let them stay in the palace for a few more days.

As they were leaving, Yue Xin reluctantly searched for Zi Wei but never caught sight of him.

Clutching a box of jewelry in her hands, she had been quite happy, but once she stepped out of the palace gate and boarded the carriage, she couldn’t help feeling downcast.

She asked Yue Lian, “Mother, when will I be able to go home in daddy’s arms like Princess Chu Xi?”

Yue Lian sighed softly, masking her own disappointment, and, stroking Yue Xin’s head, said, “The day will come.”

Her father was changing; he would stand up and protect Yue Xin, he was starting to care for her, wasn’t he?

Perhaps one day, he would grow fond of Yue Xin and realize that there was a home waiting for him, a home to which he would return and reunite with them.

She was always so enthusiastic and generous, looking forward to all the beautiful things the future held.

Of course, she eventually witnessed the beauty she longed for.

Zi Wei silently appeared in Jiang Du City’s Yue residence.

Yue Lian’s eyes and heart were filled with surprise, “Husband, why are you here?”

Zi Wei’s thin lips parted slightly, his voice cold and emotionless, “Yue Xin, whose daughter is she?”

Yue Lian paused nervously, her hand involuntarily tightening around the sleeve of her garment, dampening a patch of the white Fragrant Cloud Yarn, “She’s… a child I adopted.”

“Is she mine?”

Zi Wei sounded as if he was both probing and puzzled, causing Yue Lian’s heart to shudder severely.

An impulse surged within her chest, nearly breaking her restraint. She asked, “Do you wish her to be your daughter?”

Zi Wei shook his head.

He pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

He didn’t know.

But Yue Lian closed her eyes, exhaling a heavy breath, “She’s not, so you needn’t worry.”

Zi Wei responded with an “Oh,” and turned to leave.

“Wait, husband!”

Yue Lian called out to him, not because of Yue Xin’s origins, but because she saw that his neck was bleeding again.

She pointed to Zi Wei’s collar, “Shouldn’t your wound be treated? May I tend to it for you?”

After speaking, she turned to fetch the medicine chest from the room.

Because she often got hurt while experimenting with devices, she carried a medicine chest with her. After marrying Zi Wei, Su Yingxue had gifted her a recipe for high-quality golden wound medicine, so she prepared plenty of it, both for herself and for Zi Wei.

However, as she reached for the medicine chest, she remembered Su Yingxue’s reaction earlier that day, “The guards of Silver Moon Pavilion only allow their master to touch them.”

Others weren’t permitted to come into contact with him.

Her movements slowed down instantly, tinged with a touch of sorrow.

Although they were husband and wife and had been intimate on one occasion, she had, after all, touched him only once.

Zi Wei saw her take out the medicine chest and then stop, her eyes faintly brimming with tears, and he said, “I’ll do it myself.”

Yue Lian sniffled, handing over the medicine chest, only to hear the man’s low, husky voice sounding unreal in the night…
